Nomograms predicting Overall Survival and Cancer-specific Survival for Synchronous Colorectal Liver-limited Metastasis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most frequent cancer type and the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The liver is the most common metastatic site of CRC with 20%-34% of patients suffering synchronous liver metastasis. Patients with colorectal liver-limited metastasis account for one-third of deaths from colorectal cancer. Moreover, some evidence indicated that CRC patients with synchronous liver disease encounter a worse prognosis and more disseminated disease state comparing with metastatic liver disease that develops metachronously. Methods: Data in this retrospective analysis were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Nomograms were constructed with basis from a multivariate Cox regressio
